Hi Dennis. These icons should work with most ROM's out there available for your device, rooted or otherwise. You will need to familiarise yourself with any of the various methods of pulling framework-res.apk from your phone, and placing the .png files into their correct folder (as outlined in my first post). Then you will need to update the file on the phone with your modified .apk (Google/Android call this "push").

If root explorer can pull a copy to your SD card, you may be able to pull it and just do a normal file copy to your PC. You would then need to push it back from SD > /system using root explorer. I have never used the app before, but I just googled it now and some screenshots hint at this possibility.

I would still suggest trying to get ADB working - it is worth the hassle and much quicker than mounting/unmounting an SD card all the time!
[Android Themes] x10i DauL:
i made it with root explorer. I made a copy from the system folder to SD card. then i sent the file via bluetooth to my pc. then i replaced some pictures and clicked OK. after this i sent the framework-res.apk back to my device. then i copied this and pasted it in System/framework and replaced the old one.

and now i cant boot anymore. :(

it just shows the startupshow (modified) and then there is a black screen which is illuminated a little bit..

so what can I do?

hope for a quick answer.

kind regards from sad DauL :(
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
You will need root access, I believe, to make changes to files in /system. I would attempt to restore your system from a backup framework-res.apk and try again. I can assist you with getting ADB working, but a custom recovery for your specific device may best be suited for its particular sub forum here.
[Android Themes] orayo:
Very Nice! :)
[Android Themes] x10i DauL:
@ I do have root access.

but what should I do now?

kind regards DauL
[Android Themes] orayo:
Use DroidExplorer, it's free and very handy. You can copy/ paste like in windows explorer (previously set folder RW with root explorer)

Reflash your rom
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
Dude! Thanks for the action shot! ;)

Always nice to see your work out in the wild!
[Android Themes] noodles2224:
hi, can we get icon when the app has finished downloading?? kinda weird when its downloading in blue but when finished its original black with paper note and check on it =P overall, great icons, i especially been wanting the green sms and gmail to go with the stock apps, and i figured out where to get the talk app icon to match with it. if anyone wants to know, grab it from super D 1.9.3 =)
[Android Themes] orayo:
I must thank you for the nice work

:)
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
I noticed this just yesterday after downgrading back to a 2.1 rom. I believe this icon is located in market.apk as I do not see it in my framework-res.

I will take a look this evening and see what I can create :-)
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
Minor update.

Requested icons: Download complete, and pending update notification.

One is just the default, with blue colour. The update notification though, some of you should be familiar with. I thought it was the package manager for Ubuntu, but Google images are being weird right now so I cannot confirm. Anyway, its not mine, similar icons are found on veryicon.com, iconfinder.com etc.

Both files go to Vending.apk
[Android Themes] sonicsg:
my 1st android device.

followed the instructions on this thread and the "Android Themes Basics 1: Changing Images" video by TheFxn.

manage to pull and changed the images. but when i tried to push with adb, i get permission denied.

using JG5 firemware and rooted.

thanks for any help. cheers
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
Welcome to Android!!

After you edit the files:

adb remount
adb push ...

Without "adb remount", you will not have write permission to /system!
[Android Themes] noodles2224:
hi thanks for the extra icons but some weird reason, the install complete worked fine for one download but then tried another and it went to original??? but the update notification icon works... and its named right, dont know what happend..
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
I noticed the same thing trying to update as well. Here is what I did:

adb pull vending.apk and apply my .png's

Download Titanium Backup from the market.

Backup vending.apk

Delete vending.apk

adb push vending.apk

Reboot

Lemme know how it goes! :-)
[Android Themes] noodles2224:
i will try when i get a chance again, gotta take my nap for work tonight =P haha also my head is hurting, either because i havent slept or from being on the computer too long.. one things thats weird, i tried all this with Super D 111 and it was switching up on me, i would have the new install complete then second download it would be back to normal BUT THEN, i tried it on Super E 103, everything works and stays.. will have to try your method though on other rom versions, seems odd because its all the same steps.. =|
[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
Figured it out, dude! In the vending.apk, for me anyway, there are 2 drawable folders. hdpi and mdpi. Try replacing the .png in both of them, as it scales sufficiently for both!
[Android Themes] noodles2224:
Hey cool, that seems about right. I too have the hdpi but gonna have to wait for awhile, my girl wants me to stop messing with my phone for awhile and spend my weekend with her.. :/ ugh haha hope someone else can confirm with the hdpi
[Android Themes] Mich2Ga:
Going to give it a whirl
[Android Themes] Wasney:
Mind if I use these icons in my theme for MIUI? Already using them myself, but wanna package it together for others :)
[Android Themes] anotherdroid:
sure would be great if these were donated to the UOT Kitchen :)
[Android Themes] mendozinas:
This can be done.

Sent from my pocket using pen
[Android Themes] turn:
quick question: so if i pull an app from my phone and just edit the .png that's inside the .apk and replace it when saving i don't have to resign and all that other nonsense?
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
Yeah I'm pretty sure you use winrar and it keeps the file compressed weird but I watched the video and it worked on his phone...

why cant someone make an app that does this is that possible?? to change the status bar?? If it's all in the framework file why cant someone write an app to do it? Its just I watched the videos and it seemed rather complicated to mod your whole status bar...
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Does it exist like it did on the N1? I don't see that option and I enjoyed having facebook pix synced with my contacts.
[Vibrant General] bromat80:
go to accounts and sync and add facebook. go to contacts and link contact with facebook.
[Captivate General] rkorzuch:
Does anyone know a good Pcture Dial widget similar to the one in the Sense UI that has Facebook and Exchange integration?
[Captivate General] dressanderc:
The Samsung widget, "Buddies Now" is okay.
[Captivate General] rkorzuch:
Thanks for the info but I'm using Launcher Pro so that's not an option. Any other ideas?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Has any one got this to work? Mine just says it down and try later?
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Yeah mine just worked. I downloaded the Facebook app from the market though. I didn't know the phone came with one.
[Captivate General] uberamd:
The Facebook Sync that came with the device isn't working for me either. "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
[Captivate General] rkorzuch:
Not working for me either. No bueno!
[Captivate General] JMears:
It's not working for me either... I get the same message as some other posters, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I have tried re-installing the facebook app, and removing the facebook account in Settings>Accounts and sync. No luck yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Captivate General] mymansionisabox:
I haven't gotten mine to work either. I have the same errors as everyone else is reporting.

I don't see any other way of doing it via downloading a market app either.

I really don't care if it is integrated via samsung or an app, I just want to check it out.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate General] uberamd:
Someone should try to contact AT&T or Samsung about this.
[Captivate General] Shadow77895:
Having the same problem here. What did you do to accomplish the same with the Facebook app?
[Captivate General] rkorzuch:
I don't know what happened but mine finally started working. I did root the device but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
[Captivate General] mymansionisabox:
So facebook is now showing contacts on my phone, as far as actually properly 'syncing' I don't know yet.

However, they must have just fixed what was wrong with the connection.

More later
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
Bloo is an app that'll give you notifications similar to the BB FB app when someone sends a message or makes a comment or even pokes you. Although I have had issues when I try to go to the photo that someone just commented about, bloo can't get there. But it does notify me. I just have to use the FB app if I want to reply back.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Mine worked fine yesterday.
[Captivate General] matthewvl:
My fb sync is definitely not working either. I've probably tried it at least 15 times since sunday. A few hard resets, reseating battery and sim. Tried setting up fb sync as the very first thing after a hard reset so no other settings or accounts conflicted... Nothing. I would very much like this to work. Whats strange is that in the contacts application the activities tab pulls my news feed, but within my contacts and groups there are 0 contacts that show and I get the sync error saying it will be back shortly in the accounts settings.
[Captivate General] androidftwin:
any update on this? i really want my facebook contacts to sync.
[Captivate General] domin8:
Still no go for me either :/
[Captivate General] androidftwin:
has it worked for anyone yet?
[Captivate General] cachookaman:
got my captivate today and it doesnt work for me either
[Captivate General] creatrixx:
Yep, same here. It pulls in my activities, but not my contacts with the very same error. I've read on some other forums that it's a FB error and resolves itself when it feels like it. But it does seem weird that it would get updates and not contacts unless it's pulling that from somewhere else. I'm wondering if it has to do with the security settings I have set up on FB?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Well I finally got it to work. Contacts sync 2 days ago but did have to lynk a few manually. Then it would just have a error if it tried to auto sync. Rooted my phone yesterday day and removed att apps and now it will sync every hour no problems. Duno if either helped but worth a shot.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Mines not working. What's going on? Anyone
[Captivate General] tysj:
Apparently Facebook sync is just broken for everybody for the past couple of days. Worked for me on Sunday, but I think I've seen the error message since Monday or so.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
As I posted eairler mine works fine. Every hour it up dates.

What I've got done

Rooted

Removed att junk

Have face book app loaded also and anwidget on one of the front pages

Launch pro installed

Again don't know if any ofbit helped but works great now but didn't 2 days after got phone.

Also don't think it matters but my actual fb page is fully set to private.
[Captivate General] novaIS350:
I've tried syncing fb twice. Got the error message both times and finally gave up and dl'd the official app from the marketplace. hum bug.
[Captivate General] DirtyRasa:
Just found an app called facebook sync. Worked almost perfectly.I think it screwed up 2 of my contacts.at least I have pictures for my contacts now!
[Captivate General] tysj:
I've been trying to just add an account using the official Facebook app but it does nothing when I click on it to add.

EDIT: Nevermind the Samsung app just started working :|
[Captivate General] DirtyRasa:
I just tried it with the samsung app too and it worked
[Captivate General] uberamd:
Mine worked once, but I tried a resync and it failed. Oh the bugs that should have been worked out before this was sold.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
Mine was not working, but today I simply removed my facebook syncing account from "Settings -> Accounts and sync" and then re-added it and it worked perfectly.
[Captivate General] sammyg122:
Mine hasn't worked since Sunday, but this morning I tried it randomly at 7:30AM and it synced perfectly. Appears to be random bug with Facebook servers probably...?
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Are we talking about the Widget auto-update?

In my case, the Facebook "Activities" in the contacts page are updating every hour just fine. But the Facebook widget on the home screen does not???
[Captivate General] sammyg122:
No, we are talking about facebook contact sync
[Captivate General] decepticon:
Mine still won't sync contacts. It will sync Calendars but contacts still says unavailable.

I am using the built-in app, I have tried the Market app too but it's not working either.
[Captivate General] novaIS350:
Same here. The calendar will appear to sync, but the contacts sync feature just times out and gives me an error message.
[Captivate General] skullvet:
uninstall and reinstall your account. That fixed it fir me.
[Captivate General] decepticon:
You mean delete the account and re-add it? I have done that more times than I care to count.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
(Possiable fix) Wow just wow. Reset my phobe amd contacts wasent syc again.tried for 2 hours. Till (may b wronge) i found what i think is a helper.

So my contacts wasent showing but activitys was and this worked so try it.

In contacts hit "Menu". Then hit " Get friends" worked for me. Try and let me know
[Captivate General] decepticon:
Tried the menu/get friends but nothing.
[Captivate General] smeltn:
Mine hasn't worked either.

Calender syncs fine, but contacts will not sync.
[Captivate General] Croak:
Having the same problem with Twitter as well, but it eventually syncs. Looks to be a problem with the Galaxy only, my Milestone is having no problems, using the Facebook and Twitter apps instead of the TouchWiz method.
[Captivate General] SpoonerPS3:
Facebook isn't working for me neither. I have to use SyncMyPix from the market and works nice...at least to sync the contact pictures, but I'd love for it to get fixed. Hopefully when we get a nice 2.2 port, everything should work.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
I haven't tried yet. But I am wondering, is there not a better app to get on the market and forget this problem?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Yea, same here. I just kept trying and trying and it finally synced. But then the next day it didnt work again. Sucks.
[Captivate General] reynaim:
I got it to work by rebooting the phone. I took out the battery, sim and sd card. Then i deleted the account. I made the account again and it synced right up.
[Captivate General] decepticon:
I've gone as far as to flash back to stock but still not working. Ugh
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
Mine doesn't work either.

From my Samsung Captivate
[Captivate General] Croak:
Do a Google search, it's happening all over the world and not just to Samsung phones.

The paranoid in me suspects somebody is doing a denial of service attack to Facebook and Twitter via the SNS hooks.

Or it could just be hardware issues.

Either way, it's not your phone that's the problem.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
my problem is that some contacts (important ones like my GF) aren't syncing but others are.

they just simply do not show up in my contact list with their fbook accounts (their google accounts are there though)

so weird. literally the one contact I care to know whats going on with isn't syncing (and is ironically also the only contact sorted last name, first name) while everyone I don't care about is just fine
[Captivate General] TexUs:
TBH I wouldn't rely on FB for anything mission critical, and that includes Contacts.
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
I didn't read all the pages, so I'm not sure if this was addressed but I got it to work, at least one time, by clicking (in contacts) menu>Get Friends, and then choosing the Facebook account listed there. I was able to check off and add all my contacts. It failed the facebook sync under accounts and sync, and continued to fail after, but when I added them that way they at least were all added and are still on my phone. Go figure. I've now unchecked the facebook contacts sync. Oh well.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
I had gotten it to work and then in an effort to get the missing fbook contact, i removed my acct. big mistake...now it won't sync

tbh i had never even known this was an issue until I noticed not everyone was showing up

thats the one thing i like about motoblur, the status and whatnot shows up for the contact, even during a call and it was very well integrated with fbook, unlike this one

I've noticed also that in get friends, facebook is shaded out so I can't select it...this is frustrating because I had it 95% right and now i'm back to 0%

and my buddied widget is pretty useless unless i just want to call them :-(
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
I noticed it's shaded out, I think, if you don't have Contacts checked under Accounts and Sync for facebook. I know it doesn't work, (the contacts sync check on that screen) but I think if you have it checked then you can select it when you go to Add Friends out of the contacts menu. I would try that.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:


I started this thread and had problems then fixed them. The had to do a data reset and problems back. But now all back to working.

And when I dial some one I see there last post as long as they are linked to there number in my phone book.

I didn't rely on face book for my numbers as most where all ready on my sim. Just make sure once the face book contacts show and are selected to appear in phone book that they are linked to there account on face book.

I did have to use the get friends menu the secound time but I just clicked sync ( use a toggle widget) and it pulled all the recent post. I really do believe its a phone thing more than a Facebook thing. My Facebook is set to private so not gonna be the reason.

Once again " mine syncs fine and shows recent post when dialing number"
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
See just did this.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
Can you be more specific?

you did a HARD reset? or is there something I don't know... and then the problem came BACK? but now it is working fine? (yes I take it by your screenshot)

ok and then you went to the get friends menu and clicked sync? see, mine's shaded out I can't select it..but I do know what you're talking about because I did select it once...

I think the problem is that the "sync contacts" is hit or miss...I've been trying all day and no cigar :-( I don't know what else is left to do, I just feel retarded for removing the account and then adding it again...it didn't help at all :-/

sorry if I come off as a jerk, I'm just trying to clarify what you said it didn't make much sense in my mind at this hour
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
FIGURED IT OUT!!!

Its actually a facebook thing, notice how every facebook app asks for your permission before it does anything, but touchwiz doesn't? well fbook doesn't like it much and it causes an issue between the two.

just go to fbook, under settings -> application settings and remove samsung mobile.

remove your fbook account from your accounts list and then re-add it. when you refresh your facebook page, samsung mobile should be back in the list, and it should have all of its permissions.

give it a few mins (the first like 3 times I synced I didn't get anything) but then it will just sync up, check your time stamp, it should be the current time, and then its all fine.

yay! now touchwiz is really nice!
[Captivate General] kkeo:
A few friends with HTC phones are also having problems, Facebook probably changed up their API and broke the sync.
[Captivate General] cliffgardner:
I had to do the same but it works now.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
Doing that had broke my sync.

It's synced now but it syncs like 90% of my contacts, I'm not trying to get their numbers I just want the status updates and the recent pictures
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Ok, I'm lost. Where do you see "application settings"? I go in facebook and hit menu and I get settings, but no "application settings".
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
if you click on account uin the top right corner, its one of the options
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Ohhh, you mean on the actual facebook website? I was thinking it was in the facebook app on android.
[Captivate General] decepticon:
Still no good on my end. I removed HTC synch as well just incase. The FB app is no longer on my phone just using the Samsung synch.

Still failing but this time it did take longer to fail.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Mine was having problems syncing contacts. I had the sync set to sync once per day.

But every day I would look under Accounts and Sync and it would say sync unavailable try again. I would have to manually check and uncheck that box until it finally would go through. But the last two days it has been syncing on its own.

Possibly facebook had some errors in its API's and now they are fixed.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
well they aren't fixed, but it's pretty hit or miss. sometimes it'll sync just fine and others it won't

I think its because fbook was trying to cut down on apps that linked to fbook chat so they changed how the revisions work and now it is causing a ripple effect that is searing through every android app that uses the fbook API

even on iPhone its causing problems, I have myphone+ and the contact sync is updating somethings and not others...causing a **** storm if I may say
[Captivate General] derek4484:
*knock on wood* I have mine set to sync contacts and calendar every 12 hours. And for the last 2 or 3 times it was supposed to sync, it synced on its own successfully.

Prior to that I had to go in and uncheck the box beside contacts and then re-check it, uncheck, re-check it, until if finally synced. Sometimes it would take up to 15-20 mins.

I did look under application settings on the facebook website and i have "samsung mobile" "facebook for android" and "facebook for iphone" in there and under permissions I have all permissions checked.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
This worked for me.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
New facebook app update. Installed the update and it wanted to sync my contacts. I didn't as mine syc through phone but this may help some who need it.
[Captivate General] agentdr8:
New release today 1.3.2. Looks like they addressed the contact syncing issues by removing it entirely. Or maybe with all the different versions I've installed/uninstalled/upgraded, I've fubar'd it beyond repair.

Either way, I fixed it my FB contact sync issues by using the Samsung FB widget to setup the account after removing authorization to every 3rd-party app on the FB site, and then in contacts, using the Get Friends option.
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
wow 1.3.2 sucks. i would almost rather have 1.3.1 and just shut off sinking. they did remove the contact synce feature and linking

Now I have to go into facebook to message contacts
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
does anyone know how to get an older version?
[Captivate General] sn1per420:
Well, This seems to have fixed it. FB icons are starting to show up in my contacts, but pics aren't there yet. I'll give it 15 mins and see what happens.

My friend with a Moto Droid (running CM6) was over last night, and his phone gives him the option to "only sync existing contacts." Did Samsung kill this off, or is it something CM6 added? Either way, now I really can't wait for CM6 to come to the Captivate, cause I don't want random people I'm never gonna call showing up in my contacts.
